That evening, Zhang Lin went to Ji Yuetong's room. No one knew what had happened, but when they saw Ji Yuetong again the next day, her voice was hoarse.
Zhang Lin went to check around Hope City during the day and found that the zombie army had already gathered. There were four zombie kings in total, and countless ordinary zombies.
The sheer number of zombies was dizzying to look at.
For the next two days, Zhang Lin did not go out, nor did he need to go out to scout the situation, because from inside Hope City, just by standing on a rooftop, one could see that the city was surrounded by swarms of zombies.
Nobody thought about running away.
The Zombie King is not just these; there are zombie armies everywhere now. Hopefully, there are at least more people in the city, so there is still a glimmer of hope. If you are alone outside, unless you have the strength of Zhang Lin and the abundant food reserves he has, leaving the crowd is tantamount to suicide.
Inside Hope City, under the city lord's orders, everyone gathered together, received brief training, and then were distributed weapons. Everyone was ready for battle.
The location chosen by the city lord to build Hope City is excellent. It is backed by mountains on two sides and faces water on one side. In other words, as long as the people in Hope City hold one side, they can resist the zombie army.
"Zhang Lin!"
Lu Dazhao suddenly showed up and said, "As the captain of Hope City, you must shoulder your responsibilities. The city lord has divided the city into five guard zones, and you are in charge of leading the guards to protect the most important gate!"
"???" Zhang Lin was a little confused. "Wait, shouldn't the most powerful person be the team leader? Why am I guarding the gate?"
“The boss hasn’t arrived in Hope City yet.” Lu Dazhao shrugged and said, “Since she’s not coming, you’re the highest-ranking person in Hope City besides the city lord. Of course, such an important place as the gate is entrusted to you.”
"..." Zhang Lin was puzzled. "Is she really that irresponsible? She didn't even come when there was a zombie siege?"
Lu Dazhao explained, "It is said that she has an ex-boyfriend. Every time she reincarnates, she has to look for her ex-boyfriend first. Only when she really can't find him will she come to Hope City. Sometimes she will rush back before the zombie siege, and sometimes she will arrive after the zombie siege is delayed."
Zhang Lin was speechless and couldn't help but complain, "How come your boss is still so love-struck? What kind of ex-boyfriend is he? Is he even worth all this trouble?"
"Although it's not good to criticize the boss in your heart, I also want to say..." Lu Dazhao looked quite annoyed, "She can never find it, and she has to keep looking every time. I don't know why she's so persistent!"
Zhang Lin was somewhat troubled. He didn't want to guard the gate. If he guarded other places, he could retreat directly if things went wrong. But guarding the gate... the pressure was too great, and it would be difficult to retreat if things went wrong.
"What's with that expression? Don't you want to guard the gate? This is the best position to make a name for yourself!" Lu Dazhao looked puzzled.
He still wanted to compete with Zhang Lin, hoping to kill more zombies and eventually change the city lord's mind, allowing him to return to second place.
Guarding the gate was a coveted job in his eyes.
The gate has large holes, making it a prime target for zombies and also the best place to kill them.
"You like it?"
Zhang Lin glanced at him and asked, "Want me to give it to you?"
“In the past, when the boss wasn’t around, I was the one guarding the gate. Do you think I’m not capable?” Lu Dazhao retorted arrogantly.
"Alright, let's switch. Which zone are you in?" Zhang Lin was overjoyed, never expecting that someone would be so willing to take on the arduous task of guarding the gate.
"Since you don't know how to cherish an opportunity, then I won't be polite." Lu Dazhao sneered. "I hope you won't regret it when you lose to me!"
Zhang Lin wondered to himself, "When exactly did I agree to accept your challenge?"
"I might not lose!" Zhang Lin said calmly, mimicking his arrogant tone.
Lu Dazhao, however, fell for this tactic. He immediately became highly motivated and turned to leave, leaving behind a single sentence without looking back: "The zombie siege is imminent. Go and familiarize yourself with your defense zone. The final battle between us... has begun!"
Zhang Lin got goosebumps all over his body.
"He's almost thirty, isn't he? How can he be so immature?"
This question was directed at Ji Yuetong.
"Forget about whether he's a chuunibyou or not," Ji Yuetong said with a mournful face. "I'm the captain of Team Five now, and I have my own defense zone. What am I going to do?!"
When she first became the team leader, she was quite happy thinking about the power she would have. But now she realizes that being a team leader not only brings power, but also responsibility.
She'd never been a team leader before, so she didn't know!
“Your defense zone is small, so I’ll have Qingge and Xiaowu follow you, and also have Lao Chen and his men follow you. You won’t run into any trouble.” Zhang Lin was helpless with her.
"What about you? Now that he's with me, aren't you in great danger?" Ji Yuetong finally had some conscience and started to worry about Zhang Lin.
"You're lucky you have a conscience!" Zhang Lin said irritably. "This isn't a major defense zone for me, and I also have people from Hope City with me, so it's not a big problem."
If possible, he still hoped that Hope City could be defended, since it was not easy to find such a suitable place to live.
Considering that Hope City had survived into the new era in previous cycles, Zhang Lin felt that there shouldn't be any surprises this time either.
However, considering that the zombie siege started earlier this time and there are more zombie kings, Zhang Lin estimates that many people will die this time.
However, Zhang Lin and the other women were all people who had awakened extraordinary templates, and their chances of survival were far greater than those of ordinary people.
He not only has the extraordinary template, but also the Yin-Yang magic ring and an unlimited ammo pistol, which increases his chances of survival.
Therefore, he chose to focus all his remaining resources on Ji Yuetong.
Next, Zhang Lin familiarized himself with his defense zone, which was a fenced area where the city lord had stationed nearly a thousand men, all of whom had been given weapons and were under Zhang Lin's command.
Then we went to see Ji Yuetong's defense zone. She was the captain of the fifth team, the weakest in strength, and her defense zone was the smallest, which was a passageway for crossing water.
There aren't many zombies on the waterway, but there will always be zombies that come from here to launch sneak attacks. So the city lord arranged for Ji Yuetong to guard this place, and also arranged for more than two hundred people, who were also armed, to be under Ji Yuetong's command.
She also has the An Qingge and An Qingwu sisters, as well as Chen Zibo and his newly recruited dozen or so subordinates, enough to guard the river and ensure the safety of the three of them.
After familiarizing themselves with the defense zone, before the zombies attacked the city, An Qingge found Zhang Lin. Her expression was complicated. "Zhang Lin, the twin sisters have made up their minds. Go and collect your reward!"
The twin sisters had already resigned themselves to their fate. An Qingge had talked to them before, but out of girlish modesty, they were too embarrassed to agree directly.
But when the zombie siege reached its critical moment, the dense horde of zombies outside created an oppressive atmosphere, putting pressure on An Qingge. She then approached the twin sisters again, speaking in a slightly stern tone and explaining the seriousness of the situation.
So the twin sisters no longer dared to be reserved.
They were hiding in a room on the third floor, waiting for Zhang Lin to arrive.
